In the rare cases where hit and run drivers are traced and successfully prosecuted, they can expect very lenient treatment from the British judicial system, which is passionately committed to upholding the right to drive over the right to justice.

THE family of a nine-year-old boy killed in a hit-and-run incident are calling on people to join their campaign for a change in criminal sentencing.

David James Lunn, 61, of Moorland Avenue, Wrexham, the man who was driving the car which hit Robert Gaunt at Overton, was jailed for 22 months and banned from driving for four years after he admitted perverting the course of justice. He also admitted two charges of causing death while he had no licence and no insurance following the incident in March.
